Tim Goldich:Are men more respected, but less loved? Are women more loved, but less
respected? What if that tradeoff is, and has always been, an imperfect
yet essentially Balanced gender system? Can that system be improved?
Please join me in exploring this Love/Respect dynamic as it plays out
within traditional Mother/Father family dynamics.

Why
has this doomed model of overbuilding and poaching sales become so
dominant? Look no farther than the cheap-money policies of the Federal
Reserve.By Charles Hugh Smith: The rising Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and other simulacra of "growth" are masking the
real model of growth in America: overbuilding and poaching, as in poaching customers and sales from competitors.No matter how many outlets a company has, there's always room for a few hundred more somewhere. Now
that there's a Starbucks on every corner, you might think the
opportunities for expansion are limited. No way--now there are Starbucks
in bookstores, Safeway supermarkets, subway stations (BART), etc.Not only is there a
coffee outlet of some sort everywhere you look (hey, how about a
Starbucks in every Home Depot?), Starbucks is getting into everybody
else's business as well--even occasionally hawking music CDs, for
example, at least until CD sales plummeted to the point it wasn't worth
poaching the declining sales.

By AVfM:Although
we don’t even agree that there was ever any “Patriarchy” as feminists
describe it, we think The Straight Shooter makes some terrific points
here. He demonstrates well that even when inebriated it’s pretty easy to
take apart the rantings of gender ideologues.

Might we add that even if some of these girls grew up in single mother
homes they almost certainly had mommies getting child support, alimony,
and/or other assistance from the state? Source

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert:The melt up in the art market as
the very wealth scramble for safe havens from the taxpayers angry at the
billions in free money they've been given. They also discuss financial
irrigation, amputated gold and a special mince meat pie and Jamie stew
for Christmas. In the second half, Max interviews Jim Rickards, author
of Currency Wars, about central bank vaporware, straws in the dollar
wind and about how Janet Yellen is to Ben Bernanke as Miley Cyrus is to
Lady Gaga - trashier than the original.

By Tom Golden:This week is National Hunger and Homelessness Week.Is homelessness a men’s issue? Indeed it is. Men are the majority of
the homeless. But it goes deeper then that. Not only are men the
majority of the homeless, but homelessness is the dead end for so many
other men’s issues. How many homeless men do you think have been raped
by the family courts? How many homeless men do you think have been
falsely accused? How many homeless men have been victims of domestic
violence and ignored? How many homeless men have been severely depressed
and overlooked. The sad fact is that homelessness is the end of the
road for many men after they have faced years upon years of misandry,
people looking the other way, and no services available when they face
hardship and discrimination. Nearly all of the issues we discuss and
work to bring into public awareness find their dead end in the two male
exit points: homelessness or suicide.This is not to say that the only path to homelessness is misandry.
Mental illness surely plays a role as does economics and a host of other
forces. It is a complex problem but one aspect that has likely never
been considered by the lame-stream media or psychological professionals
is the horrible impact misandry has upon millions of men.

By Peter Wright (Tawil): The
sex-relations model of gynocentric culture is borrowed from medieval
feudalism: men offered themselves as vassals to women who took on the
status of overlords in sexual relations. As evinced by the first
troubadours, men pledged homage and fealty to women who actively played the part of man’s superior. The feudalistic formula, which I will tentatively label sexual feudalism,
is attested by writers from the Middle Ages onward, including by
Lucrezia Marinella who in 1600 AD recounted that women of even lower
socioeconomic classes were treated as superiors by men who acted as servants or beasts born to serve them. Other female writers held to the same belief, including Modesta Pozzo
who wrote, “don’t we see that men’s rightful task is to go out to work
and wear themselves out trying to accumulate wealth, as though they were
our factors or stewards, so that we can remain at home like the lady of
the house directing their work and enjoying the profit of their labors?
That, if you like, is the reason why men are naturally stronger and
more robust than us — they need to be, so they can put up with the hard
labor they must endure in our service.”

By AVfM: In the UK, Conservatives are reigniting the decades-old alliance between
conservatives and feminists on the subject of, you guessed it, male
sexuality. Need we add that Cameron is almost certainly mostly concerned about porn
made for or by men? Porn for women, some of which isn’t even considered
porn just because it’s by and for women and thus gets tagged “erotica”
more often, is usually off the RADAR in these handwringing discussions.

By Paul Elam: Italy,
The United States, The Congo, The United Kingdom, South Korea, Denmark,
Australia, Mexico, India, Japan, Canada and Spain. It is a very
disparate (and only partial) list of countries, a blend of east and
west; an extreme mix of languages and cultures spanning the entire
planet. However differentiated in terms of societal norms and
governance, however stark the surface contrast, all these places do have
one very powerful and prominent thing that inextricably weaves through
the fabric of their very existence, uniting them.It is the same common thread that now runs through many other
familiar entities: The Pentagon, Federal Express, The European Union,
conservative political parties, Rock and Roll Music, The Prime Minister
of England, nearly every criminal code on earth, The Australian
Parliament, Country Music, liberal political parties, all Fortune 500
Companies, Oxford, Fox News, The United Nations, The Salvation Army, The
Ford Foundation and The New York Times.All these institutions, these countries, cultures, corporations and
constructs have in common that to a greater or lesser degree, usually
greater, they have been impacted by the spread and influence of gender
feminism.We see it in the wholesale acceptance of manufactured research
results and bogus statistics supporting the feminist narrative that is
parroted without consideration or vetting by media outlets, state
functionaries and political candidates (regardless of party) worldwide.

In this animated short, Richard Condie offers up a history lesson about
one of the most sensational get-rich-quick schemes that took place in
France over 200 years ago. With economist John Law at the helm, the plan
was to open a bank and exchange bank notes for gold at wildly inflated
share prices to mask the fact that the country's gold had been depleted
in the building of Louis XIV's palace. When the inevitable rush to cash
in the notes takes place, poor John Law is left broke and
broken-hearted.

Return to growth may provide a temporary fix for UK public finances, but if
that growth proves as unsustainable as the pre-crisis variety, it’s no
solution at all

Even assuming the improvement in tax revenues
continues, the outturn for this year will still be no better than the
OBR was expecting a year ago before the impaired forecasts of the March
Budget were made.

By
Jeremy Warner: Rejoice. Like the economy, the UK public finances are at last moving in the
right direction. October is an important month for corporation tax inflows,
and most of the anecdotal evidence is that with an improving economy, they
are picking up nicely.

Add in expected increases in taxes from the housing market – and with rising
consumption, some improvement in VAT receipts – and by the end of this
financial year, public sector net borrowing could be as much as £10bn lower
than the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) was forecasting as recently
as the last Budget in March. Another feather in the Chancellor’s cap then?

Time for a reality check. Even assuming the improvement in tax revenues
continues, the outturn for this year will still be no better than the OBR
was expecting a year ago before the impaired forecasts of the March Budget
were made. We are merely back to where we were at the time of last
December’s Autumn Statement, and we are still years away from where the
Chancellor expected to be when he unveiled his emergency Budget in June 2010.

AJ:The TSA is funding the rollout of exit pods at major airport terminals
across the USA that temporarily detain passengers before they are
allowed to leave, another example of how the federal
agency's policies treat travelers as prisoners. Source

By Madison Ruppert: A new in-depth investigation by Reuters reveals that the Pentagon has
purchased billions of dollars worth of equipment it doesn’t need, has
not accounted for $8.5 trillion in spending and lost supplies worth a
whopping $5.8 billion over just eight years.The fact that the Pentagon spends funds on unneeded and/or unused equipment is far from news. However, the Reuters investigation revealed that the waste is far beyond what was previously known.Much of the wasteful spending is done by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), a fact which they apparently recognize.“We have about $14 billion of inventory for lots of reasons, and
probably half of that is excess to what we need,” said Navy Vice Admiral
Mark Harnitchek, the director of the DLA, to aviation industry
executives in August.As of September 30, 2012, the DLA and military services had on order
some $733 million worth of excess supplies. As defined by the Department of Defense, “excess inventory” includes anything that exceeds a three-year supply.Some of the Pentagon’s purchases appear to make very little sense.

By Greg Canning: A person by the name of Micah J. Murray posted a satirical article ” How feminism hurts men” on his personal blog and subsequently it has been reposted on Huff Post Canada in the Religion section. As a father of a daughter, 2 sons and a stepson, I have a few thoughts for Miach to consider.Your trite and simplistic portrayal of the complex debates around
gender as one of male privilege versus female victimhood does not
surprise me, however that it is proffered by a god-fearing father of two
“wild little boys” does.Rather than focusing on feminist constructs such as “female
objectification,” “rape culture,” and “gender wage gaps,” I suggest,
Micah, for the sake of your sons, you should acquaint yourself with some
of the realities of boys’ existence in the early 21st century. After
all, isn’t that what dads should do?In every age bracket, male mortality exceeds female mortality. Males
in developed countries will live lives on average 5 years less than
their female counterparts, yet more funding goes towards research and
programs for women’s health issues.Welcome your wild boys to the world of male privilege and gender equality.From birth girls are protected from genital mutilation by legislation
that criminalises any form of genital cutting no matter how minor, yet
boys are not granted their right to gender equality in regard to genital
integrity. Non-therapeutic genital mutilation of infant boys is a
shocking abuse of human rights. Yet the movement that purports to stand
for equality feminism ignores its widespread cultural and religious practice. I hope your wild little boys are intact, Micah?

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
